Hardware Installation

This section will assist you in quickly installing your system hardware. Wear a wrist ground strap

before handling components. Electrostatic discharge may damage the system’s components.

CPU Processor Installation

This mainboard supports Intel

®

Core

TM

2 Duo Mobile processors using a Socket P. Before building

your system, we suggest you to visit the Intel website and review the processor installation

procedures. http://www.intel.com

CPU Socket P Configuration Steps:

1. Use a screwdriver to turn the screw counter-clockwise until the dot on the screw points to the

“unlocked” sign. (3 o’clock position)

2. On the socket, locate the pin-1 receptor. Match the Pin-1 marker on the CPU with the pin-1

receptor of the socket and then gently lower the CPU onto the socket. Do not use force as it will

result in bent pins.

3. Next, turn the screw clockwise until it points to the “locked” sign (9 o’clock position) — this will

lock the CPU into the socket.

4. Smear thermal grease on the top of the CPU. Lower the CPU fan onto the CPU/ socket and secure

it using the attachments or screws provided on the fan. Finally, attach the fan power cord to the

CPUFAN header.

FAN Headers: CPUFAN, AUXFAN

There are two fan headers available for cooling fans. These cooling fans play an important role in

maintaining ambient temperatures in your system. The CPUFAN header is attached with a CPU

cooling fan. The AUXFAN header is attached with another cooling fan.

Attention

DO NOT touch the CPU pins in case they are damaged. Also, make sure

that you have completed all installation steps before powered on the

system. Finally, double-check that the cooling fan is properly installed and

the CPU fan power cord is securely attached, in case

your CPU and other

sensitive components are damaged because of high temperatures.

Attention

You can avoid damaging your CPU due to high temperatures with

proper cooling equipment. It is recommended that attach

a cooling fan

on top of your CPU. Use the CPUFAN header to attach the fan cord.

On most fan power cord, the black wire of the fan cable is the “Ground”

and should be attached to pin-1 of the header.

Memory Installation: DDRII2

The PI965GME provides one DDRII SO-DIMM sockets with Dual Channel Technology supported. This

sockets allow you to install 200-pin, non-ECC & unbuffered DDR II 667/ 533/ 400 SO-DIMM, supporting

to install a total memory capacity of 1 GB.

Memory Installation Steps:

Match the notch on the bottom of the DIMM module with the corresponding pattern in the DIMM slot.

This will ensure that the module will be inserted with the proper orientation. Now the chips or pins at

the bottom of the DIMM module are still visible.

Lower the DIMM module into the DIMM Slot until the chips or pins at the bottom of the DIMM module

are hidden.

Press the DIMM module backward firmly using both thumbs until the module snaps into place. Do not

use excessive force.

Mainboard PI965GME

Repeat steps 1, 2 & 3 for the remaining DIMM modules.

Back Panel Configuration

PS/2 Mouse & PS/2 Keyboard Ports: KB/MS

This mainboard provides a standard PS/2 mouse port and a PS/2 keyboard port.

DVI Connectors: DVI

DVI connector delivers the digital signals, and is able to connect with LCD display, plasma display, or

other display device which with the DVI interface compatible.

The VGA (D-SUB) Connector: VGA

The mainboard provides one VGA connector (= D-Sub connector) on back panel.

VGA connector (= D-Sub connector) delivers the analogy signals, and is able to connect with

traditional CRT display, flat display, or other display device which with the D-Sub interface

compatible.

TV OUT Connector: TV_OUT

The TV_OUT connector is used to connect to high quality video equipment and TVs that support the

YPbPr standard. The three cables used in YPbPr connection provide higher quality than single-wire

composite cable commonly used to hook up video equipment. TV_OUT is converted from the RGB

video signal, which is split into three components, Y, Pb and Pr.

＊ The pictures above are for reference only. Your actual installation may

vary slightly from the pictures.

Mainboard PI965GME

 Y carries luminance information.

 Pb carries the difference between blue and luminance (B - Y).

 Pr carries the difference between red and luminance (R - Y).

S/PDIF OUT Connector: SPDIF OUT

S/PDIF is a recent audio transfer file format, which provides high quality audio using optical fiber and

digital signals. There are one RCA SPDIF OUT connector on the back panel of your case, enabling you

to transmit audio output between your system and the SPDIF devices.

USB Ports/LAN Ports: USBLAN1, USBLAN2

There are four onboard USB 2.0/ 1.1 ports on the back panel. These USB ports are used to attach with

USB devices, such as keyboard, mice and other USB supported devices. There are also two

10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN port available for you to attach internet cables.

can attach a maximum of two IDE devices, such as hard disk drive (HDD), CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.

using IDE ribbon cables.

In general, two IDE devices can be attached onto one IDE connector. If you attach two IDE HDDs, you

must configure one drive as the master and the other one as the slave.

Serial ATA Connector: SATA 1/2/3

The three SATA connectors support 3 Gbps data transfer rates, and one SATA connector only can

attach one SATA HDD of each time using SATA cables.
